Biggie's back...for a murder most fowl. Murder's afoot when Biggie Weatherford's around, and now, fresh from Biggie and the Mangled Mortician , this Lone Star grandma is ready to put the bite on another ornery killer, Texas-style. It's chicken on the burner-- any way you want it-- in Firman Birdsong's new restaurant. Problem is, old Firman's under the table, gussied up like a prize goose, gravy on top, parsley garnish, and a blood-red tomato in his mouth. Biggie's twelve-year-old grandson, J.R., saw the dead man with his own two eyes. Clearly, this is a case for Biggie-- and her cousin, Sheriff Paul and Silas Wooten (yep, that's one man). But J.R. figures he and Biggie have other problems as well: his other grandmother and her buzzard husband have turned up, ready to snatch him back to Montana. So while Biggie and Paul and Silas are busy rooting out suspects, J.R. is planning his own great escape from wanna-be grandparents with their fancy car with longhorns on the hood, money to burn, and secrets to curdle the blood...

This time out, as her twelve-year-old grandson J.R. narrates, the grande dame of the East Texas town of Job's Crossing definitely has her hands full. She's directing and starring in a local production of HMS Pinafore, but just before the first rehearsal, cast member and new town mortician Monk Carter suddenly takes his final bow. The cause of death is chalked up to either a heart attack or epileptic seizure, Although Doc Hopper's examination shows that the undertaker's ribs were powerfully crushed. Suspects are few and far between, but there's no stopping Biggie, with J.R. at her side, as they attempt to bring down the curtain on a crafty killer.Loaded with quirky Southern charm, knee-slapping humor, and irresistible eccentric characters, Biggie and the Mangled Mortician will delight old Biggie fans-- and make new ones wonder how they ever lived without her.

The fiestet grandma in texas: "Mrs. Fiona "Biggie" Wooten Weatherford is well-known for landing five-pound catfish, mowing down mailboxes when she drives, as well as owning half the county. Now she's mobilizing the local ladies against City Hall's new garbage dump, right next to the graveyard of their forefathers -- especially James Royce Wooten, founder of the town and namesake of Biggie's eleven-year-old grandson, J.R.
